Well, with this year's tour behind me, it's time to rank the 10 I went to. Seriously, I had a lot of trouble ranking 1-8--they're all very good. Like last year, I'm not using a concrete rating system, but I'm taking several things into account, like comfort of the seating/stadium, food/food accessibility (although I didn't eat much stadium food on ( Read more... )

Well, it's finally over, at least as far as baseball-related road trips this year go. And now I feel dirty for cheering for the White Sox. XD; Sorry neko4, but cheering for the White Sox today cost the Twins first place. :P

Holy Sheets, Batman! Sheets was the... uh, Sheets? XD (OK, OK, I'll stop.) Sorry Cubs fans, you can't count on the Nationals. (But us Twins fans can count on the Red Sox. XD)

Before the game:-Got a really late start on the day, about an hour later than I wanted to. When I got to the hotel, they didn't have a room for me, but soon after they ( Read more... )

I'm home, completely burned out after a great weekend with friends and watching baseball games, and the Twins will finish the season undefeated (3-0) in games I attend. XD

Before the game:-The Dragons actually won! It's their first win in Koshien this season. Ibata hit a 3-run triple in the 6th to make it 6-1 Dragons, and despite a Kentaro ( Read more... )

Yar, har, fiddle di dee,
Being a Pirate is sucky to be,
Don't matter what you do 'cuz the Pirates are cheap,
You are the Pirates!

Sorry, couldn't resist. XD; But I'm finally back from the game (and also seeing The Dark Crystal for the first time, as it was showing at sorakirei's local theater), and damn that was painful. (The game I mean. Not The Dark ( Read more... )

The Cubs ALMOST blew it. And they're quite lucky it was just an "almost". (And for my money they got some help from the umps today.)

Before the game-Left rather early (8 AM, for what I thought was a noon start time), but then again, it took an hour and a half to get to downtown Toronto by public transportation ( Read more... )

It was the slugfest I thought it would be, but it was heavily weighted towards one side. (Not completely one-sided, but still pretty uneven.)

Before the game:-Got a late start on the day because I decided to sleep in (after watching Death Note and Code Geass), and I also still had to write my Philly game report. But I got to the stadium at about ( Read more... )

Exploding Hamels!

Before the game-Got to Philly at about 10 AM. The nice thing about Philly is, all of its sports facilities are bunched together, and they all have parking lots! I parked by the Spectrum (the old Flyers/76ers arena; not to be confused with the Wachovia Center, right across the parking lot), and a funny thing happened--it was ( Read more... )

I just got back from Detroit, and I think I can scratch one more off of my list of baseball events to see. (I always joke that the last one left on my list is "bench-clearing brawl"; I think that now that "grand slam" is off the list, the last one really is bench-clearing brawl. XD)

Before the game:-My parents and I got breakfast at the Fairfield ( Read more... )

Alright, time for part 2 of the doubleheader.

Previously... on X-Men: I fell asleep at about 3:10 AM after finally giving up on trying to stay up for the rest of the Dragons game. (when I slept, the Dragons were up 3-1 after 6 innings. The game ended that way.) pyroh fell asleep well before that, but we both woke up, ate breakfast, then went back to ( Read more... )
